Khaplu Fort

Pioneered by the Aga Khan Cultural Service
Pakistan, Khaplu Palace, which was once the former seat of government and one
of Baltistan's finest royal residences, has been restored from a dire state of
dilapidation.

FND was responsible for the design and integration
of modern heating, ventilation and plumbing systems in the project- a challenge
for all conservation projects.

The heating system is based on hot water produced
by diesel operated boilers.

A modern kitchen and cold stores were designed for
the restaurant. An air-conditioning system using chilled water from an
underground stream was also designed but not currently implemented.
